Today we have more to share with you using the BoBunny's C'este la Vie range. What gorgeous tones in these papers, I hope you are being inspired!

The Frasers 1939 by Debi Clark (CT)

Isn't it surprising how we can picture a layout just by looking at the papers? I have a similar photo taken of my family recently at my dad's 80th birthday, and I have all these papers put aside to do it!! Oh Debi, I'm going to have to change it up a bit.... :0) Great layout Debi, lots of interesting clusters.

Layered patterned papers, tissue flowers, buttons, ribbons and trim all put together add to the style of the page with a hint of shabby heritage. Well done Debi.

Believe Card by Debi Clark (CT)

These papers allow you plenty of scope with their blended colour themes. The stickers give you even more options with their written quotes and sentiments, a dash of bling or ribbon and you're done. Thanks for sharing Debi

Today we are sharing more layouts from our gorgeous March BoBunny Pack. I hope you manage to grab one, they really are lovely and numbers are limited. Check out these lovely pages by Debi.

Live Beautifully by Debi Clark (CT)

Great layout Debi, love that photo, really in the moment. Soft colours, subtle layering with the stickers and the cluster below the photo adds a fluffy texture with the tissue flowers. A good way to break up the color using white paint/gesso and a touch of co-ordinating colours. Nice Debi.

Happy Fern by Debi Clark (CT)

What a contented looking moggie, such a lovely fur baby photo. These colours were just right for little Fern's background. The addition of inking and stitching helps add a bit more colour and texture to the white space of the background, and a couple of clusters fall in with the balance. Well done Debi.

For all those that like a bit of Art Deco, the below samples using the last DoCrafts Creativity had plenty to offer. Not only did we see some great Card Creations, but also how Heidi has also put her hand to a layout, which we incidentally don't see a lot of.....yet! In this page one of the Decoupage Art Deco Ladies is the main feature, and easily works well as a double for those Elegant evening, Deb or Special Occasion pages. It opens up the doors a bit more in regard some added decoupage.

Have a Lovely Day by Heidi Hemmerling

Here you can see the layering.

Lots of Love Card

Happy Anniversary Card

Thanks to Heidi for sharing her creations using DoCrafts Art Deco range. It's always inspiring to see what you can do with your products, and i'm sure we'll have more to share from the current ranges shortly.Janet

Here are some more creations from the Monthly Pack using C'est la Vie by BoBunny. They are a beautiful range of patterned papers, such lovely colours. We hope you enjoy these.

Holly by Heidi Hemmerling

And here we have a set of three cards by Heidi.

A great use of the pack Heidi, sensational colour combinations.

I would also like to share a bit of Show & Tell from one of the Wagga Wagga girls who frequents Scrapville. I asked Rose if I could put her work on the Scrapville Wall of Fame so that we could display a range of layouts using the Steam Punk style of scrapping. This was a great opportunity to show you all where you can take scrapping, extending your creativity and artistic flair. Thanks so much Rose.

Steam Punk layouts by Rose Franco - Show & Tell

Thanks Rose, awesome samples, and also great ideas to adapt masculine layouts with the mechanical theme on your layouts. The colours are great, and I love the metal embellies. thanks again Rose. Stay tuned all for more shortly.

I thought we'd start today off with some inspiration for the Monthly Pack. Full of beautiful colours and patterns I think you're going to love what the girls come up with.

Beautiful Granddaughter of Mine by Heather Bensley (CT)

Heather has used the gorgeous patterned papers as the background, and then stitched and misted around the edges of the border and paper layering behind the photos. A combination of handmade tissue flowers and border punches adds depth.

Here you can see how Heather's handmade tissue flowers are lifted with a light spraying of Glimmer Mist, which has also been used to colour the centres of the flowers. Adding cutouts of butterflies and branches, buttons and bling adds more texture to the layout. Beautiful Heather, certainly worth Grannie Bragging!!

Hello Everyone, and welcome to the March Monthly Pack. This month we are going with a lovely pack by BoBunny Press. C'est la Vie is full of pastel tones with a Shabby feel, which will give it plenty of scope for your creations. We hope you like this months challenge, and look forward to seeing your creations uploaded to the Linky. We will have the Kits available later this week.February Monthly Pack WinnersI have been a little lapse in my announcements, so I apologize for the delay. During February we ran with the wonderful 75 cents range by Kaisercraft. I can't believe how much the girls managed to create with their Monthly Packs, and it was wonderful seeing what the challenge entrants put up as well. We do, however, need you to get your entries in on time so that there are enough to qualify for the prize. I hope you can all get on board with the March Pack, as there's a great little prize to pick up for the winners.

January Monthly Pack Winners In January we overlapped the December Monthly Pack as it was such a busy time and we were re-vamping the shop, so it was just easier to run it a bit longer. The Rondelle range by Prima was such a pretty range with soft pastel tones offset with blacks and browns. Featuring a beautiful layout of her newest grandchild, Heather Bensley was announced the clear winner of this challenge. With Heather stepping onto the Creative Team in January, it was decided to give a second prize, and this goes to Samantha for her layout Lake Guy 2013.Congratulations to both girls, and if Samantha can contact Scrapville we can arrange the collection of your Free Pack.

February/March Sketch ChallengeThis is due by Pumpkin Time on 14th March, so to be in the running for a prize pack you'll need to upload your Challenge Post to the Linky on time, or you can drop your layout or card into Janet at the shop. Don't miss out, there's a great little Prize!
